Measurements: Penguin stands about 7.5” (19 cm) tall
Yardage: 135 yards (124 m)
Gauge: 22 sts and 28 rows = 4” (10 cm)
in single crochet stitch
This crochet buddy is worked in pieces and then hand sewn together.
The Ch 1 at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch.
In order to reduce a traveling seam use the hook over method. This occurs when completing the last step of the single crochet. Instead of placing the yarn over the hook, place the hook over the yarn, and complete stitch.
This pattern is worked in the round continuously without joining. Use a stitch marker to keep track of rounds.
